1.-THE publication of the notice of incorpora.
ton Of the Augusta, Thomasvlle and Gulf Rail-
road in the evening Ne,os to-day shows one of
the biggest railroad schemes Of the day.
"The desire and intention of the wealthy Bal

ton and reach the South Atlantic or Gulf coast
has been known for some time, and it looks now
as II It would come In all reality. The B. & D.

1t is said It proposes to build down and connect
with Augusta's new road the Augusta and Car
Olina Midland, at Blacks Station 10 North Caro-
lima or In Charlotte.
Nov the Augusta, Thomasville and Gulf
Road seems to al the third and fnal gap in the

1t seems now that both Monticello and Talla-
hassee are doing their parts mantully towards
raising the funds necessary to secure their con-
necton with Townsville, and we are confident
that the work will soon be begun. We were
amongst those who preferredsseeing these con-
Meeting links built as independent roads, but we
waited long and no one went to work, and now
as the s., F. & w. has undertaken it, we can
only wish them success, assured as that is in
everything that company undertakes. The
building of this road Identifies more strongly
than ever the community of interest of this town
and that company, and gives assurance that the
S., F. & w., while making this 80 important
point in their great system, will feel disposed to
do all in its power to advance our mutual inter-
ests andi this new and important connection
will speedily show its good effects in the rapid
advance and growing prosperity of Thomasville.

They'll Mate in the Spring.

Ed. Thisler came in from Kansas
City this morning. His visit to the
big city has had the effect of rendering
him rather tony" slightly ''stuck on
HIMSELF as it were. Ed wears a con-
scious air of superiority today, for the
reason that he's fully launched in the
latest eastern .'fad.n In other words,
his shoes are not mates, the one on his
south hoof being of fine Kangaroo
leather, while the opposite pedal ex-
tremity is enclosed in a tOOthpick style
of French calf. The former is about
six sizes too big for him, and the latter
about the same number of sizes too
small. His south leg roams around at
will, while the other stays right by him.
But Ed is needless of the discomfort,
He says he'll be in style atany sacrifice
to his feelings. After this, when he
addresses you in a buttermilk tone of
voice, just remember that he's a ':joOd, "
and put handle to his name.
